seismologists can give us still is a 6.7 or greater sometime in the next 30 years. and they've been saying that since loma prieta. can't they do better than that? well, as nbc bay area's garvin thomas shows us, one day they might. >> reporter: if you have ever heard of the tiny central coast town, it's most likely because of this. it's where in 1955 james dean died in a car accident. but something else may be about to put it on the map again. something happening deep underground here which has caught the eye of scientists up here. >> this is exciting stuff for me. >> reporter: peggy is one of a team of berkeley seismologists about to embark on a three-year study of tremor activity recently discovered miles underground along the san andreas fault. >> it's not quite clear why tremor happens where it happens. and that's one of the things we're going to look for. >> reporter: first question for us, of course, is what are tremors?

aren't they just very small earthquakes? >> tremors are places where earthquakes shouldn't be. so they're much deeper in the either. >> reporter: roland bergman is the project's principal investigator. >> earthquake is nothing happening and suddenly boom you get, you know, a big shake. and this is over in a new seconds. a tremor is nothing and then it slowly gets bigger and bigger and just sort of keeps going. and this could go on for hours, for days. >> reporter: and while this may be of great interest to scientists, you may be wondering, why go to all the trouble. why spend three years and more than $1 million studying seismic activity that never toppled a building, buckled a bridge. frankly, never did anything to anyone. >> people always look for things. is there anything we can find that could at least give us a hint of, you know, things are getting ready for one. and tremor is the first thing that we've seen in decades that

sort of at least might be something. >> it could be an earthquake. >> reporter: but studying tremors will not be easy. one scientist says it's like trying to listen to the rustling of a single leaf when the whole tree is shaking. so that is why come this spring, scientists will be drilling holes hundreds of meters deep, installing sensitive seismometers and other equipment. and if one day they do find a pattern between what tremors do before a big earthquake hits, a giant leap in earthquake forecasting will have been made. and while that may lack the cultural impact of a young movie star's death, the impact on science will likely last just as long, if not longer. in san luis obispo county, garvin thomas. >> fascinating. scary but fascinating. >> a true giant. let's turn things over to

jeff to talk about this beautiful sunshine that we've been getting. a little cool but still really nice. >> that's right. we'll see more into tomorrow. and one of the great things is we won't have nearly as much fog as we head into tomorrow morning. today was a sweet rebound here with 67 in san jose. los gatos hitting 69 and 65 in livermore after that dense and very dangerous fog. now, right now take a look at this. san francisco from san bruno mountain, clear towards the bay bridge. however, you'll notice that the camera is shaking. that's the thing we'll be dealing with tomorrow. some breezy conditions introduced back across the bay area. also colder this hour as compared to yesterday. right now already 46 in livermore. temperatures in the mid to upper 40s towards the north bay. tomorrow, we'll see that patchy fog. it's mainly for the north bay at this point. a colder start with plenty of low 40s. plenty of sunshine for wednesday. watch out as you drive over the hills possibly on your commute. it's going to be breezy out there.

and we are going to stay in this unusual dry pattern here. at least for the next five days at this point. high pressure is just offshore. that will bring us more 60s for tomorrow and also that late morning, midday and afternoon sunshine for the east bay, temperatures expected to be in the upper 30s and low 40s as we head throughout 6:00 a.m. and as for tonight, those 40s right up the peninsula and also upper 30s to low 40s in the north bay. let's get you those numbers as we head into the midpart of the week. 65 in morgan hill. 65 in pleasanton. also dublin to danville looking at mid-60s. we'll see upper 50s in pacifica at the coastline. otherwise 63 in san francisco. meanwhile, over towards oakland in downtown, 62 if you're commuting there for work. concord, 63. 64 fairfield. we could even see upper 60s to 70-degree readings in the north bay. not too bad. more anytime on the weather channel on cable and possible travel delays from weather moving across the east coast.

seven years ago, i had this idea. to make baby food the way moms would. happybaby strives to make the best organic baby food. in a business like ours, personal connections are so important. we use our american express open gold card to further those connections. last year we took dozens of trips using membership rewards points to meet with the farmers that grow our sweoes and merchants that sell our product. we've gone from being in 5 stores to 7,500. booming is using points to make connections that grow your business. breakfast for lunch. breakfast for dinner. with three new breakfast lovers dishes, who needs a break from breakfast?

and this fish has personality. caretakers are asking aquariums if they are interested in adopting this big fish. but if you have a big tank, this pacu could be yours. lawrence scott is up next with sports.

good evening. raiders under al davis held court for nearly two hours today. and after a while you kind of forgot that they were introducing a new head coach. but here he is, hue jackson being promoted from offensive coordinator and that part of the story simply took a back seat. jackson played the thing smarter than any raiders head coach in decades. he embraced the silver and black monarchy and said it's refreshing to be able to talk xs and os while repeatedly calling his boss coach davis. then the talk shifted from the on-field product, topics like legal troubles as they relate to former head coach tom cable. more on that in a moment as we

put the spotlight back on jackson and how it's playoffs or bust. >> there's no question. i mean, i'm not here to be 9-7. i'm not here for that. i'm here to take this team to be the best we can be. and we want to win the afc west. we want to get in the playoffs and challenge for the super bowl. >> al davis is as passionate as ever. the raider nation listening very carefully today to a take on a variety of topics including canning cable and docking his play, plus stadium talk and what responsibility he takes as the team still seeks its first postseason since 2002. >> he knew i could have thrown him out without any money for what he did to the raiders. with the initial stuff with hanson, which supposedly he admitted he hit his wife and things like that. and that's public record. so i can say it. but there are things i can't say.

because of the legalese about this. we want a stadium. we want a new stadium. we think the best place for a stadium is where the oakland coliseum is right now. as to whether it will happen or not, we have to have, somewhere in the future here, a new stadium. i have made mistakes, yes, there's no question about it. and you've got to have great players. but you also sometimes have the players and don't get it done. so you're saying should i take some of the blame? i certainly do. you guys give it to me. you want me to get it from my wife? i do get it from her. >> mr. davis very engaging today. tonight we also learned that tom cable has already found a new gig before any need for damage control, he joins pete carroll in seattle as an assistant head coach/offensive line coach with the seahawks. mike singletary has also accepted a new job. he is taking on the role of

linebackers coach with the minnesota vikings. and finally, the giants signed a new deal with cody ross avoiding arbitration for a one-year contract. also signing deals, jonathan sanchez and ramirez, the pitchers. ñññññ+ ñ2ñ2ñ2ñ2ñ2ñ2ñ2ñ2 ó
